Split Dns setup

I have read the various posts and docs about split dns, but it still seems to have issues:
Here are the responses to the commands that involve thiese issues. When I run the install.sh script it reports a dns mx problem.

You're hosts file is incorrect, your resolv.conf file is incorrect and you have invalid DNS A & MX records - the only article you need to read is the one in the wiki - that article tells you all you need to know about the format of your MX records (compare yours to the example - hint: check the FQDN), the A record (specifically the IP address to which it points), the resolv.conf (how many and which DNS servers should be in there) and the hosts file (specifically the IP address and the FQDN of your ZCS server). When you've checked those and corrected the you should run all the commands in the 'Verify....' section of that article and post the output here - to make the output more readable please enclose each bit of output in code tags to make it easier to read (see your post above after my edit).

In your zone file the "NS" record should contain a FQDN (ie zimbrahost.axiomcomputerservices.com) instead of the IP address and your "MX" record needs a priority number (ie 10) in front of the server name. Those are the two issues that jump out at me based on the error messages you are getting when you try to start named.

From the wiki, the zone file wants "internal address of server" for the NS line, but you said it should be the fqdn of the server. The same situation appears in the A line of the zone file. It wants an address, but you say it should be a name. Which one is it?

Is it necessary to name the mx-host with the first word mail as in mail.yourdomain.com? Also, the hosts file has a line where it defines mail with the word mail as the first part of the fqdn, as in mail.yourdomain.com? Can I name the first part of the fqdn for the mail function with whatever name I want? Can I do specify this in the hosts file: 10.3.0.99 xyz.axiomcomputerservices.com xyz?

The NS line should contain the name of your server, not the IP address. You are right, the wiki is a little unclear in this situation. Actually the FQDN needs a "." at the end. There are other notations you can use, but for simplicity let's stick with FQDN followed immediately (no spaces) by a period. Your "A" record is fine. Where the wiki article says "internal address of the server" you should use the IP address. The other mistake, as I mentioned in my previous replay is that your "MX" record needs a priority number (ie 10) in front of the server name.
